Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage
About this ride
Guests seat in rows along each side of the vessel, facing portholes through which the underwater world is visible. The experience combines real water views with projection-mapped screens that seamlessly insert Nemo, Dory, Crush, and other characters into what appears to be a live underwater environment. The submarine's interior is surprisingly tight.
Best time to ride
Good as a midday filler when major attractions have long waits.
Insider tips
- Choose a porthole seat near the middle of the submarine for the best viewing angles.
- The sharks appear suddenly and can startle young toddlers — give kids a heads-up.
- Skip it on your first visit if you have limited time; prioritize for children obsessed with Finding Nemo.
What to know before you ride
- Enclosed submarine seating — genuinely tight and tube-like interior.
- Descending via a narrow ladder to board.
- Some children may experience mild claustrophobia.

Mateo's Take
“Charming and unique — but a 15-minute commitment. On a one-day trip with young kids, only prioritize this if they're huge Nemo fans.”
— Mateo, Lead Disney Parks Specialist

Pirates of the Caribbean is the original Disney dark ride masterpiece — the one that set the template for everything that followed. Walt Disney himself oversaw its creation, and it opened in 1967 as the last attraction he personally supervised. You drift through moonlit bayous and into a chaotic port town under siege by buccaneers.
